AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Two architects: Andrew Martin, a feted young Australian whose success has come early and Johannes Von Ruhland, an ageing genius whose work has never been realised. When Martin finally meets the mythic Von Ruhland on a trip to Berlin, it is a dream fulfilled, but once that dream is brought back to Australia, it jeopardises his marriage and divides his friends.
